Herzog’s advice to aspiring filmmakers: “Carry bolt cutters everywhere.” #60minutes #wernerherzog #filmmaker #filmschool

I also say, you are able-bodied, earn money to finance your first films, but don't earn it with clerical works in an office. Go out and work as a bouncer in a sex club, work as a warden in a lunatic asylum, go out to a cattle ranch and learn how to milk a cow. Earn your money that way in real life. You do not become a poet by being in a college. And I teach them a few things like forging a shooting permit, can I have, you see, it should look really authentic. How to fake a shooting permit. A shooting permit during a dictatorship. Have you made those? Yes, of course. And I teach lockpicking. You have to know, yes, you have to be good at that. To make a film, you have to know how to forge a permit and pick a lock. And you better carry bolt cutters everywhere. It's not for the faint-hearted.
